DESCRIPTION:We still think of art in the 'Third Reich' as a kind of black 
 hole\, a period\, 1933-1945\, in which all the competent artists fled the 
 country to live abroad\, and nothing of any interest was produced. The Naz
 is were philistines who regarded all modern art as 'degenerate'. This lect
 ure brings this view of Nazism as hostile to modernity and modern art into
  question. It looks at Nazi attitudes to art and architecture and examines
  the work of some of the artists who stayed\, in the wider context of Euro
 pean modernism and the artistic beliefs of Hitler\, who regarded himself\,
  as is well known\, as an artist.
